Alright, let’s cut to the chase. The modular armor kit claims it’s light but solid. It does deliver decent coverage; the plates flex enough to keep you moving, and the material isn’t that heavy—around 2.5 kilos per panel. But that “light” comes at a cost. The hinges and clips are a bit flimsy; you’ll feel the flex under heavy fire, and the protective layering is only half as thick as its competitors. It’s a solid mid‑tier option if you need to keep a low profile, but don’t expect it to stop a high‑velocity round. If budget is tight and you’re fine with a compromise, go for it; otherwise, consider something that trades a little bulk for better survivability.
